**Important Note**

Before starting this project you should be aware that you are hooking 120/240 volts AC to your shield. These voltages could be deadly and or cause a fire if you overload the relay or solder it wrong. You can also be seriously hurt if you don’t use proper work and safety ethic. Do not work on the shieldwhile it is plugged into power. You should only have the power plug plugged in if it is inside aplastic or insulated box and ready to be tested and/or completed. TEST THE SHIELD BEFORE YOU PLUG IT INusing a voltmeter to ensure that 5 volts DC is the output on the VIN pin of the shield. Be very careful not to come into contact with the high voltage side of the shield. As you can see from the included images, I used silicone to isolate the power pins on the underside of the shield. Hot glue would work as well.
